And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.

We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, l looked the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to over 40 definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP. you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP. When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP. If you slow UP, it means the same as slow down.

One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so......it is time to shut UP!

Lastly, a "Big Thuubs Up" to you.
